Moogfest, the annual festival celebrating the vision of sonic pioneer Bob Moog, happening October 28-30 in Asheville, NC, is drawing near! With just five weeks to go, we have a bunch of new Moogfest-related news to share. But first, lets remind you of the excellent lineup AC Entertainment has put together for attendees this year — The Flaming Lips, Moby, Passion Pit, STS9, Tangerine Dream, TV on the Radio, Special Disco Version featuring James Murphy and Pat Mahoney (DFA/LCD Soundsystem), Umphrey’s McGee, Chromeo, Crystal Castles, Amon Tobin: ISAM Live, Flying Lotus, Suicide (playing their legendary first album in its entirety), Ghostland Observatory, Childish Gambino, M83, Neon Indian, St. Vincent, Beak>, Matthew Dear, Tim Hecker, Anika, Toro Y Moi, Zomby, John Maus, CANT, and Oneohtrix Point Never, are just some of the many stellar acts gathering for this year’s event. And let’s not forget Brian Eno’s extraordinary video installation, 77 Million Paintings, will be exhibited for the first time in the United States outside of the West Coast. Eno will also present his mind-expanding “Illustrated Talk.” The day-by-day after the break.

Also, Moogfest 2011 is expanding in a big way. In addition to concerts at the Asheville Civic Center Arena, Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, and the Orange Peel, new venues for the weekend will include the newly renovated Asheville Music Hall (formerly Stella Blue), the beautiful and intimate Diana Wortham Theatre, and news of an outdoor venue will be shared soon.

Additionally, details surrounding the fine arts component of Moogfest are ready to be shared. SYNTH: A Group Art Show Inspired by Bob Moog, is a showcase of handmade limited-edition screen prints by some of the top concert poster artists and graphic designers working today. This year’s show will also feature a special limited edition print created by The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne. All proceeds from SYNTH go to support the Bob Moog Foundation.

Of course, there is a ton more in store – information on this year’s workshops, interactive experiences and discussion panels will be announced in the coming weeks. Additionally, this year there will be surprise daytime performances and events all over town on Saturday and Sunday.

Single day tickets are now on sale, and weekend passes are still available at www.moogfest.com. Brian Eno’s 77 Million Paintings and Illustrated Talk are separately ticketed events, specially priced for Moogfest attendees. Visit www.moogfest.com for more information.

BeeMi Gallery

Rebecca Reid — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:38:47 +0000

If you’re in central Illinois around April 15-18, you’ll have the privilege of seeing an arts community come alive for an annual festival called the Boneyard Arts Festival. There are many notable places to see art in Champaign-Urbana during this time of year, but in 2009 a fly-by-night gallery emerged, strictly for the festival, located in a building under construction. BeeMi Gallery blew away their competition with their interesting melange of artists and musicians who came together for the love of artistic collaboration, counter-culture, and the community.

They recently announced that they will be occupying yet another building in transition for the 2010 festival, featuring many more artists and musicians. Yesterday they posted their music line up which looks like an exciting mix of local DJs spinning up a variety of different music styles from industrial to dubstep. The artwork is by an assortment of individuals that work day jobs ranging from tattoo artist to publication professionals; creating art in their free time because they love it. The art on display is as unique and diverse as the artists themselves with a mixture of mediums like hand crafted wearables, sculpture, painting, and photography.

Cardboard Tube Fighting League

Derrick Stembridge — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:07:20 +0000

The CTFL was created out of a desperate need to better train and arm citizens with cardboard tubes. While many speculate that our fore fathers, when drafting the constitution, originally intended the fourth amendment to refer to fire arms, there is now a small group of non-academics who believe that they were more likely referring to elite militias of card board tube wielding ninjas. While this training often takes place during childhood, it is discarded by adults who remain uneducated about the importance of such practices. The goal of the CTFL is to provide organized cardboard tube based events that help spread cardboard awareness.
